it's the day after christmas. i'm one of the few lucky people that didn't have to return to work today. not me, no sir. i'm sitting at home, wasting as much time as humanly possible. it's my calling, i guess. i'm back to work tomorrow for one entire day.

brad keeps plugging away on his new weblog. i saw him yesterday at the family christmas. steve, chris, and i taught him how to play euchre. chris and i won, as we usually do. the turkey was dry as hell. someone (my aunt who cannot cook to save her life) decided it was a grand idea to baste the turkey with wine. no thanks, i say. the alcoholic consumption was curbed when i was presented with the drink choices for the day: some vodka drink that was semi-solid and milwaukee's best from a can. i'm not fond of drinking things that scare me, so let's just say i stuck with the coke classic.

i didn't receive any presents on the actual holiday. we did all of our gift exchanging around here a couple of days ago. i probably need to scoot over to my dad's house sometime today and see how they're doing. all in all, it was a pretty calm christmas. i cut out early and came home to hang out with paul.
